I agree. Your motor definitely did not survive and needs some help. Just to give you an idea of what the numbers for an 8.8:1 motor should be, I recently did a compression test on my motor (same compression - to see how it was holding up to higher boost levels and before installing the portfueler) and I had at least 191 psi in each cylinder.

Compression should be around 180. I think 210 is a bit high for 8.8:1 cr.
